Harmoniously (Life Is Good) was given only a 9-1 shot in this field of entirely inexperienced maidens but made the most of it, jumping right to the lead from the outside under Axel Concepcion.
Pressured right from the jump, she took heat first from Girl On a Tear (Uncle Mo) through the half in :47.56 then Don't Tell Mom (Upstart) who pushed her into the final furlong.
In a driving finish, Harmoniously just managed to get her nose down in front as Jump Seat (Flightline) made a last-ditch attempt in the shadow of the wire.
The 11th winner for her freshman sire (by Into Mischief), Harmoniously is out of Indian Gardens, a daughter of two-time Eclipse winner Indian Blessing.
Purchased as a yearling by the partnership of Belladonna Racing and Determined Stables, Harmoniously is her dam's last reported foal though Indian Gardens is due in 2027 to Yaupon.
